Chapter 123: The Beast of Death

Mo Xiu searched for the thirty or so disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect who entered the Desolate Ridge and rushed to kill them. In less than half a day, only one Wang Ying remained.

Regarding Wang Ying, Mo Xiu also learned something about him from searching the souls of the previous people who died under him.

However, he put Wang Ying at the end not because he was afraid of Wang Ying's strength, but because Wang Ying was located farther away from him, and closer to the gloomy light in the depths of Desolate Ridge.

After solving the other people, he flew towards the place where Wang Ying was.

Wang Ying was already in ambush, so even if he flew into the sky, he still couldn't find Wang Ying's trace with the naked eye.

However, the entire Desolate Ridge, except for the mysterious light, was covered by Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness. Long before Wang Ying made the decision to ambush and sneak attack, Mo Xiu was already paying attention to Wang Ying.

Even if he couldn't detect it with the naked eye, his Divine Consciousness had already captured Wang Ying's location.

He didn't fall below, he simply stood in the air and injected the True Energy into the Abyss Demon Sword, the Abyss Demon Sword then burst out a gloomy light.

A sword fell, the wind blew up, and the sharp sword aura made a "whish" sound as if to tear the air apart.

Wang Ying was a person who could release his Divine Consciousness, he had already noticed it when Mo Xiu arrived.

Although he was also surprised that Mo Xiu had the ability to fly and that Mo Xiu could accurately find his location, there was more of a bad premonition in his heart.

Seeing Mo Xiu slashed down with a sword, he was even more frightened as he didn't even dare to even think of a sneak attack anymore. He quickly got out of the ground and dodged to avoid it.

"Boom!"

After that, there was an extra scratch on the ground.

Because of the timely evasion, Wang Ying saved his life dangerously.

He looked at Mo Xiu in the sky, his face was very ugly, and stated, "Brother, I have never provoked you anywhere, but why do you want to kill me? Even without saying anything at that?"

"..."

Mo Xiu fell below silently, without saying a word.

Wang Ying curled his lips and said, "Although our current relationship is a competitor and we need to compete for the same place, you can't be so unreasonable."

Mo Xiu: "If I kill you, do I still need to reason with you?"

Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, and shook his head slightly, "You really don't. Only the weak reason, the strong don't."

As he said, sighed, "Your strength is really too strong. I doubt if your cultivation level has already broken through the Profound Spirit Realm, but forget it, I'm too lazy to delve into it. Since you are going to kill me, I will not sit still to let myself be killed either."

As soon as he said, a roar of a monster beast rang out, making the whole earth shake.

Although it was not known what happened, it is obvious that what Wang Ying did to attract the nearby monsters.

After all, it was the second time that he challenged Desolate Ridge, so it wasn't surprising that he had this ability.

On the contrary, Mo Xiu, after knowing that the monster beasts nearby had been attracted, still had no expression on his face, and the light wind and clouds made Wang Ying, the person who secretly attracted the monster beasts, feel a little puzzled.

He frowned, his figure backing back again and again, "I won't play with you anymore. You can play with those monsters slowly."

Without waiting for Wang Ying's figure to escape into the gloomy light, Mo Xiu used the Everlasting Instant Shadow Step, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wang Ying.

Wang Ying was shocked and raised his hand to attack, but he didn't expect Mo Xiu's hand to fall on his arm and restrain him firmly.

"Poof!"

Blood splashed madly, Wang Ying's arm broke apart, and then his whole body retreated, completely concealed in the gloomy light.

That arm was not cut off by Mo Xiu, but Wang Ying himself concentrated his True Energy on the arm and violently impacted it, breaking it open.

Breaking his own arm to save his own life, this showed Wang Ying's decisiveness at the critical moment.

Mo Xiu glanced at the broken arm in his hand, True Fire shot out and burned the broken arm, and then before the surrounding monsters rushed over, he flickered into the gloomy light.

...

The dark light looked very strange, it looked no different from the outside environment, but it gave people a very depressing feeling as if they didn't know when the danger would come.

Wang Ying couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Originally, he was worried that he would encounter danger when he entered it, but now he was not in danger. This was a great thing.

Although it would be troublesome to break an arm, no matter what happened, it was much better than losing one's own life.

"That guy won't chase in, right?"

"This place is very dangerous from the outside. He should have no reason to take risks in order to chase me down."

"The big deal is to stay here for seven days, and I will go out after he leaves Desolate Ridge. I don't believe that he would dare to kill me outside of Desolate Ridge."

He murmured secretly while running the True Energy to stop the bleeding.

However, the next moment, a figure passed through the gloom and walked in from outside.

"You... you unexpectedly..."

Wang Ying was so stunned that he almost couldn't even speak.

Mo Xiu's gaze fell on Wang Ying and he was about to behead Wang Ying, but then, something else stopped him from doing that, a huge black shadow appeared from behind Wang Ying.

Wang Ying didn't pay attention at first. When he noticed something was wrong, his whole body was erected, his back was sweating frantically as he slowly turned around. After seeing the huge figure, he staggered and fell directly on the ground.

"This...what is this? The legendary...Beast of Death?" maybe he was too scared. When he spoke, his whole body was trembling, his voice was trembling, and his words were not coherent as if he had just learned how to speak.

Mo Xiu also moved his gaze away from Wang Ying and fell on the dark shadow.

It was not a monster, it was just a black shadow, but there was something hidden behind the black shadow, which made people feel even more weird and terrifying.

Mo Xiu didn't use the Divine Consciousness to probe but condense the True Energy on his eyes. A pair of Mystic Demon Eyes glowed crimson, his line of sight immediately penetrated the black shadow, and saw what was hidden behind the black shadow.

It was a beast. It was gray in color and looked like a puppy. It was small in size and its limbs were even smaller. However, it had three eyes, and all three eyes were very strange. The pupils of the eyes were mostly black, but with a little blood.

Both ears were much larger than ordinary dogs, and they were drooping, like two weak and drooping leaves.

After seeing the appearance of this beast, Mo Xiu could be sure that the rumor of the Beast of Death circulating in the Seraphic Sword Sect referred to this one.

However, this was not a monster beast or a spirit beast at all, but a cub named Nightmare Demon Hound. It was no wonder that the gloomy light gave Mo Xiu a familiar feeling before.

The 'evil beasts' and the 'celestial beasts' were opposed to each other, and they often had powerful strength, and generally only existed in the Realm of Heaven.

The Profound Sky Continent was naturally not a certain continent in the Realm of Heaven. The Realm of Heaven was the upper realm. Any other continent and any world belonged to the lower realm.

Only when people of the lower realm had reached a certain level of cultivation, and they broke void before they could enter the upper realm. It had not been heard that the people of the upper realm could return to the lower realm.

Mo Xiu was considered a special case because he was the reincarnation of the soul, and it was not considered to return from the upper realm to the lower realm.

The Nightmare Demon Hound logically only existed in the Realm of Heaven, and it was impossible to come to the Profound Sky Continent from the Realm of Heaven, but now, a juvenile Nightmare Demon Hound appeared in the Desolate Ridge, which was really surprising.

Unlike the monster beasts outside, the Nightmare Demon Hound didn't roar out from beginning to end.

As it took a step forward, the huge black shadow also took a point forward, walking to Mo Xiu and Wang Ying step by step as if it was planning to use this method to collapse their psychological defense.

Now that Mo Xiu had seen through the true face of the Beast of Death, he naturally wouldn't be afraid, and he wouldn't be frightened by that dark shadow.

On the contrary, it was Wang Ying that even after a while, he was still shivering. It was unknown whether he was frightened by the rumor of the Beast of Death, or was really shocked by the huge black shadow.

Seeing the dark shadow getting closer, Wang Ying quickly looked at Mo Xiu and said with a shiver, "Brother, help... help me, help me."

Mo Xiu glanced at Wang Ying, "I am the one who wants to kill you, would you let me help you?"

Wang Ying suddenly became angry, "What time is it now, do you still want to kill me?"

"Do I still need to see the time to kill you?" Mo Xiu asked back.

"What do you think?" Wang Ying pointed to the huge black shadow that was getting closer and closer, "That is the Beast of Death. According to rumors, people who encounter the Beast of Death will either die or go crazy, even our Seraphic Sword Sect's elders are no exception. Do you think you are so great that you can handle even the Beast of Death?"

"..."

Mo Xiu remained silent and did not answer.

If it was a real Beast of Death, he might really have to worry about it without knowing it, but this so-called Beast of Death was just a cub of a Nightmare Demon Hound, and there was nothing to fear.

What he thought was not how to deal with the Nightmare Demon Hound, but how to subdue this Nightmare Demon Hound. Ultimately, this kind of beast was very precious even in the Realm of Heaven, and it was only possible to conquer the Nightmare Demon Hound when it was young. In adulthood, wanting to conquer it was an idiotic dream.

Such a good opportunity, he would not let it go anyway.

Even if it weren't for subduing the Nightmare Demon Hound, he would have killed Wang Ying long ago and would not let Wang Ying live for that long.

Wang Ying didn't know what Mo Xiu was thinking, and continued, "Quick! Help me is to help yourself. Only when we two join forces can we escape. When the time comes, wanting to kill or torture me is up to you."

"Escape?"

Mo Xiu scoffed slightly, "Who do you think I am? Don't say I didn't intend to escape, even if I really want to escape, do I still need to join hands with you? What qualifications do you have to join with me?"

Wang Ying was stunned, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and a vicious thought soon popped up in his heart.
